Recently Merlinchaos put out the Panels Everywhere module to take over Drupal's block system, though it needs theme support in order to work. It is also beta though.

Sociotech,

Any particular reason other than priorities why this is postponed? I'm happy to help get it going unless you're waiting to see how all the new modules (context, panels, design suite) fall out in adoption first. Let me know.

Sorry, make that Display Suite. Also, thanks for all the work on Fusion.

Nothing other than priorities... it's high on the list but will be at least a couple of weeks before we can look at it. We'd be thrilled if someone else is interested in testing the waters, so have at it :D

I've taken a preliminary look. I think the best way to do it is offer it as a starter subtheme that overrides the template files in core. Basically it should only consist of the head and the wrapper divs used for the grid-settings and other theme settings with just the <?php print $content; ?> and <?php print $closure; ?> in the page. Other pane-xxx.tpl.php files can be used to print the other common variables (primary & secondary links, search, logo, etc) so that they can be dropped in the site variant. The difficult part will be the CSS and I haven't even looked at Skinr. I'm probably not telling you anything you already don't know. It's the legwork that needs to get done and it will be a couple of weeks before I can get to it as well, but let me know, I'd be happy to help.

Is there any progress on Panels Everywhere support?
I found this forum topic:
http://fusiondrupalthemes.com/forum/using-fusion/panels-everywhere-compa...

When will you move the subtheme to drupal.org?

Should we keep this issue open or mark it as a duplicate of the accelerator "support panels" issue?

I think this is beyond the scope of the "support panels" ticket in Accelerator and we haven't really had enough interested in PE to pursue it further. If we do anything with PE, it will be in a 7.x branch anyway and I'll open a new ticket for that if it comes up. Marking this as Won't Fix.
